Register a trade mark for a cleaning company
Cleaning businesses too can protect a name or logo
A cleaning business can have its company name, a tagline or a logo registered as a trademark, either at the BOIP for the Benelux or at the EUIPO for the entire European Union. Without that registration, there is no exclusive right to the name: a competitor who registers the same or a confusingly similar name for cleaning services can subsequently use it and in some cases even stop the original creator from using it. For a sector where name recognition and word-of-mouth marketing often make the difference between winning new clients or not, this is a risk that can be mitigated with a registration.
The application requires a choice from the Nice Classification: the system
Where this is based on
- The Nice Classification of Goods and Services (WIPO)
- BOIP — Benelux Office for Intellectual Property
- EUIPO — European Union Intellectual Property Office
